Joey Logano

Seventeen-year-old racing sensation Joey Logano, the most highly-touted driver to hit the NASCAR ranks in a decade, is dying for a chance to take a spin in Jeg Coughlin Jr.’s Jegs.com Chevrolet Cobalt after a visit to team owner Victor Cagnazzi’s race shop in Mooresville, N.C.
Logano and Coughlin met at last weekend’s Geoff Bodine Bobsled Challenge charity race in Lake Placid, N.Y., and became fast friends while competing on the Olympic course. In between runs, they naturally talked about their respective forms of racing and Coughlin suggested Logano stop by VCR shop, which is near Logano’s adopted hometown, to familiarize himself with straight-line racing.
